After 18 years with industrial-metal pioneers Ministry, co-founding bassist Paul Barker has left the band.

Though the news is just now surfacing, Barker told frontman Al Jourgensen in August that he was uninterested in remaining in the group, and he had been contemplating leaving for months before that.

"Last summer Al was extremely enthusiastic about the possibilities of what the band could do, and I wasn't as excited. I thought, 'What are we going to do and what am I going to get out of it?' and I realized that now would be the perfect time to bow out," Barker said.

Well maybe Paul leaving Ministry means he's available to play with KAJT (Knoxville Acid Jazz Trio). He'll have a hard time replacing Lucious but...

I suppose that "could" give a good spin to the news
